Cairns is a major tourism center, which caters to a wide range of groups, including backpackers.  There are a huge number of backpacker places, like maybe 100, and they are relatively inexpensive.  In some, you might be able to get a single or double room at a lower price than in hotels, might be worth checking.  They are all likely to have websites, as the clientele is quite international.  The Australian dollar is very strong right now, worth more than the US dollar, so be sure to check exchange rates if you are estimating costs.
     Cheers,  Doug
